Today my book Sovereign finally launches. It’s a handbook for outsiders ready to bend reality in their favour. It’s a manual for making things happen, and a guide to creating the outcomes you want. Sovereign will show you how to (1) nurture ambition, (2) develop agency, and (3) navigate adversity, regardless of your starting point. One reader called it: “A manual for life - modern stoicism at its best” Others have called it “Clear, useful, and entirely uninterested in gimmicks, and “Refreshingly sane”. A year ago I decided to write the best book I was capable of, distilling the last five years of my work and so much more. It’s been an incredible journey. Buy Sovereign today to... • Stop following the default path and learn to architect a life on your own terms. 🗺️ • Break through self-imposed limits by understanding how to rewrite the rules you quietly accepted. • Build the practical toolkit of trailblazers—from faster learning to authentic influence—to make your vision a reality. • Turn inevitable adversity into your greatest training ground for resilience and strength. 💪 You can get it on Amazon today (and a bunch of other places)

Again, the chart is silly and devoid of context, but is simultaneously a reminder of our failure in making government services a safety net rather than a springboard.

I understand why this is being widely mocked, but I also understand the thought process behind it. It does, objectively sound bizarre that the government pays half a million 16-24yo PIP, when we don’t even have national service or other schemes for those age groups.
Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain" I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Lab politician

Left my tiny dog with my cousin while I was in SF for 6 weeks. Apparently her youngest boy now randomly growls 😂

If you’re alive, act like it. Don’t be so obsessed with the future that you forget to truly live.

It doesn’t matter that the Tesla Roadster (in this format) may never reach production. We should celebrate that it exists. This is how we get to flying cars - being brave, taking risks, pushing boundaries. This is where I appreciate Elon’s ambition.
The Tesla Roadster is real and it can fly and it looks incredible in person
